CB350F crankshaft oil seal leak

A lot of oil leaks on British bikes, I found, was due to porous castings. Even after painting the insides with epoxy paint they still leaked. Guess its part of the character of the bikes.

Leaks in British bikes.....ha.....I was drooling over a brand new Triumph in the showroom of 'Sports Motorcycles' in Manchester (the shop of the Steve Wynne/ Mike Hailwood Ducati fame) in the 70's.....on the nice shiny floor under the Triumph engine was a small dollop of oil......another chap spotted the oil and said to his mate 'See - they even drip oil when they are empty'. Happy daze.
